Carbone’s Pizzeria Bar & Grill

I keep trying to support this place but it’s brutal. Atleast for getting food delivered. Orders screwed up, Foods terrible etc etc. Mound needs some new pizza competition!

Before spending a dime here I’d suggest picking up a frozen pizza (Heggie’s maybe) at the grocery. Salads, apps, pizza. all bad… really bad. The service and food standards are seemingly the same here.

Great place! Great food! Best casual restaurant in the west metro!

This is the best thin crust pizza we’ve ever had. It’s gotten to be our favorite place. We are always looking for coupons for Carbone’s pizza.

Been going to Carbone’s for years. We bring our son for wings and the Big Buck hunter game. The food is decent but the service has always been pretty bad. Tonight was a major exception. Our server gave us the best service and friendly attention. Went out of her way to make sure we were taken care of. Kudo’s to her and we will be back sooner because of it!

Great pizza and calzones for the area. The consistency has varied for us, but the pretty good pizza keeps us coming back. The drinks have always been great! A good place to bring your family!

My husband and I had lunch here today and I ordered a prime rib sandwich and the bread was burnt which ruin the entire thing. The waitress was kind enough to take it off of our bill and that was great. Then at supper time, we ordered a large super pizza to go and the crust was black! We have learned our lesson. We will never go here again.

My wife and I have tried this place several times. The food has very little flavor and creativity. The food will fill you up but it will never wow you. It does have a pretty good atmosphere as you can watch a game and drink some drinks, but don’t go expecting to have great food. Even the pizza, which is very hard to mess up, always leaves me dissatisfied and wondering why we paid so much for below-​average pizza. If you just need a quick bite with the kids or want to meet a friend to hang out and have a drink, go here. If you’re looking for a Friday night meal that will wow your senses, drive to Excelsior or Wayzata, Because you won’t find it here.

I just scratch my head when I read some of the previous reviews. I think the issues were back when Dailey’s Pub and Carbone’s were basically sharing the same kitchen, with a door joining the two. This was several years ago. Since then, it was totally remodeled and is just, Carbone’s ! The food here is very good. The BLT is maybe the best I have ever had. The waffle fries are available with a seasoned sour cream dipping sauce, Get Some ! Delicious !
The pizza is great, the hoagies can’t be beat ! Nice outdoor patio, but it is on a busy intersection. What do you do? The only drawback is some of the local loser’s that hangout here. There are so few good places out in this area. This is one of them !

Came into this Carbone’s with a group of 25, half were kids from being at a basketball tournament. We had 1 server for our entire group. I fully get that our group size and separate checks per family added difficulty for the server, but it seems the staff and kitchen was clueless. The result was getting our food 90 minutes after ordering. 2 pizzas and a chicken fingers was our family’s order and we received our food last out of the whole group. In sitting for that long, we never once had an apology or an update, just the staff pretending like it wasn’t happening. Before leaving and paying with a 20% tip I shared that it was a less than pleasant experience with our server who let me know it was our fault for being a big group with separate checks. Wow.

This place is horrible, the service is as bad as it gets. I don’t know who is in charge of this place but they have a lot to learn about good customer service and running a decent restaurant. If you don’t mind being ignored, crap food, HORRIBLE customer service and waiting 15 minutes to get a drink this is the place for you. I mean I ordered a beer and they didn’t even fill it to the brim, that is a big no no in my book. I recommend you avoid this joint. You’re better off eating frozen pizza at home.

I have such mixed reviews on this place. The food has been good, but sometimes it’s horrendous. We’ve been told different things by different servers, leading me to believe there is a lack of communication. The drink prices are spot on for the area and the food is generally good. They do offer gluten free pizza crust, but we’ve received a lot of mixed information regarding the crusts which makes me wary. I’ve gotten quite sick from being ‘glutened’ there before, so not quite sure what that was all about.
Overall, since it’s local and has a good bar, we’ll be back. But the servers and cooks should be trained better in serving gluten free guests. And if management doesn’t want to do that, remove the gluten free crust option, simple as that.

I went there with my family while we were visiting them in Minnesota. I must say that I was less than impressed with Carbone’s. The décor was pretty cheesy and they had the Gophers game on the TVs and blasting over the radio which didn’t set the stage for a great dinner. The server was moderately attentive, but wouldnt’ bring waters for the table despite multiple requests. On several occasions, she brought A drink for the ONE person who requested waters for the table. It’s irritating, but the experience could be redeemed with great food. This was not that. The magherita pizza was made with flavorless tomatoes which left the pizza sub-​par. The other pizzas that we had were fine, but nothing knocked it out of the park. The combination of the game blasting, the boring décor, the un-​awesome service, and the meh pizza left me at 2 stars.
There has to be better than this in the Western ‘burbs of Minneapolis!

Little pricey — but the thin crust pizza is great!

Absolute Crap. Slow non existent service. Place was not even busy. 20 minutes after ordering drinks, food order was not taken. Bartender acted like he was doing me a favor by letting me pay for drinks. Too bad, nice and close but total crap.

The staff looks like a group of homeless drug addicts, food was below average. Prices are WAY too high for frozen food. Also what’s the deal with trying to disguise a pizza place as a club? Stupid idea for an already average franchise.

We’ve had the super pizza twice here — so good. All the toppings they have on one pizza. It’s a feast. Service was a little slow. We got our food fine but the waitress didn’t come back to check on us for a long time. Ran out of water.
Pita chips and artichoke dip was good, not as creamy as most but the chips were great.

We are new to the area and were impressed with this restaurant! From what we could tell, they’ve recently renovated. Went there for lunch on a Sunday and had GREAT pizza. (Oh, and they have Surly on tap.)

I had a hoagie here for dinner while drinking at Dailey’s with a friend. The sandwich is pretty plain and boring about on par with Subway only you don’t have all the options for toppings to spruce it up. For $ 8 bucks or so you’ll get a sandwich, chips, and a pickle. Kind of pricey in my mind and it wasn’t very filling. Maybe I’ve been spoiled by the sandwiches I can get in New York but I would rather go to Subway or Quiznos.

If I could give negative stars for this place, I would!
I was at the Mound Carbones’ location today around 12:30pm with my two kids & two of my friends & their children (3 adults, 3 toddlers, & 2 babies). We stopped by on our way home from Minnetonka Orchards upon recommendation by the Orchard. It was all of our first time at a Carbones’ so we were excited to try out the pizza & hoagies. Unfortunately, we had a very poor experience that left a bad taste in all of our mouths.
Service was ungodly slow despite the 4 employees behind the counter. The female employee taking orders could not figure out the register so all of our orders were entered in incorrectly. After we had placed our order, we sat in the booth right across from the cash register. The same employee came up to us & asked us if we were dining in because if we were, then there was a server that was supposed to take our order. We didn’t see a server when we came in & it was our first time at the restaurant, so we were not aware of that detail. We told her this & she said «Oh, I guess I can bring out your order.»
When she brought out our order, it was incomplete & incorrect. A kid’s pb&j pizza was missing & an item in a takeout box was brought out. Eventually, this got straightened out, but we had to go back up to the counter & request our beverages. I stood at the counter for an unreasonable amount of time not being acknowledged. One employee was going on a smoke break. Another was dividing up some cake while another was juggling a knife. I seriously contemplated going behind the counter to get the drinks myself because it would have been quicker! Our kids were starting to meltdown because the food order wasn’t correct & they had to wait on their milk.
With so many different pizza options in the area, I don’t think we will be stopping by again.
